This is not about Stephen Curry being injured. He might be out of rhythm. But even if he’s not 100 percent recovered from his sprained left MCL, he’s got more than enough juice to be who the Warriors need him to be. No, Curry’s Game 2 struggles are not about his knee.

This is about him figuring out the quandary before him. This is about being under attack and mounting the proper counter. This is about the ever-present conflict he has been managing, a conflict heightened by the invitation of Kevin Durant to this Warriors empire.

Fortunately for the Warriors, this is familiar ground. So much so, it has become a comfort zone — as evidenced by the smile he had on his face after this game, the we-gon’-be-all-right tone with which he swatted down concern-laced questions.

“We got a win. We’re good,” Curry said.

For Curry, and as a result for these Warriors, the question is never how did they get here.
